User reviews

Effectively promotes mindfulness

This app has helped me catch myself when I’m procrastinating or just blooping and redirected me to things I always say I want to do but get distracted from instead.

Great reset

Two weeks in and this actually works. It's like a speed bump for those mindless moments when you're about to open the app you always open without thinking. My phone usage has dropped, and I've been swapping that time for reading and meditating instead.

So helpful

This is such a great way to not get stuck on autopilot

Finally, one that actually works!!!

I don’t usually leave reviews for apps, but Tonic completely deserves it. I have legitimately tried every single habit-tracking app out there, and this is the only one that has actually helped me stay consistent and hold myself accountable! Sticking to my habits with this app has honestly made me feel so much better about myself. On top of that, the interface is fantastic and super enjoyable to use. I’m so excited to see how this app continues to evolve. Keep up the amazing work!

Healthy habits

A great way to build healthy habits. I appreciate the option to simply track or to gamify habits.
